Systems and methods to link meetings with units of work of a collaboration environment

ABSTRACT

Systems and methods to link meetings with units of work of a collaboration environment are described herein. Exemplary implementations may: manage environment state information maintaining a collaboration environment; obtain input information conveying user input into work unit pages of units of work; in response to requests to generate meetings regarding individual units of work, generate and store resource information in individual work unit records of the individual units of work; obtain meeting information conveying content of the meetings; effectuate one or more actions within the collaboration environment based on the content of the meetings; and/or perform other operations.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods to link meetings with units of work of a collaboration environment.

BACKGROUND

Collaboration environments, sometimes referred to as work management platforms, may enable users to assign projects, tasks, or other assignments to assignees (e.g., other users) to complete. A collaboration environment may comprise an environment in which individual users and/or a virtual team of users does its work and may enable users to work in a more organized and efficient manner.

SUMMARY

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a system configured to link meetings with units of work of a collaboration environment. Traditionally, users may manually create units of work within a collaboration environment that represent meetings conducted outside of the collaboration environment. When the meeting is concluded, a user may typically have to manually update the units of work and/or perform other follow-up actions in a collaboration environment to reflect what happened in the meeting. This is time consuming and may be prone to user error. Accordingly, one or more implementations presented herein propose a way to link units of work within a collaboration environment to meetings conducted using meeting resources. The linking may provide a seamless integration between the collaboration environment and a meeting resource so that content of meetings conducted using the meeting resource are reflected in the collaboration environment, and/or actions within the collaboration environment are reflected in the meeting resource. By way of non-limiting illustration, when a meeting is linked to a unit of work, agenda items of an agenda may be dynamically created for the meeting based on information gathered in the collaboration environment. Once the meeting has concluded and/or during the course of the meeting, the agenda items may be addressed which may cause an update in the collaboration environment. During the meeting, an agenda may be interactive where there is an agenda display portion included in a meeting interface. In some implementations, interacting with the agenda display portion within the meeting interface may cause modifications and/or updates to work information related to individual units of work discussed in the meeting. It is noted that such linking may also be carried out with projects and/or other records described herein and is not to be considered limited to units of work only.

One or more implementations of a system to link meetings with units of work of a collaboration environment may include one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions and/or other components. Executing the machine-readable instructions may cause the one or more hardware processors to facilitate linking meetings with units of work within a collaboration environment. The machine-readable instructions may include one or more computer program components. The one or more computer program components may include one or more of an environment state component, a user input component, a meeting interface component, a content component, and/or other components.

The environment state component may be configured to manage environment state information maintaining a collaboration environment and/or other information. The collaboration environment may be configured to facilitate interaction by users with the collaboration environment. The environment state information may define one or more records. The one or more records may include one or more of work unit records, project records, and/or other records. The work unit records may include work information comprising values of work unit parameters defining units of work managed, created, and/or assigned to the users within the collaboration environment. By way of non-limiting illustration, the work unit records may include a first work unit record including first work information for a first unit of work.

The user input component may be configured to obtain input information conveying user input into work unit pages of the units of work and/or other pages. Individual work unit pages may provide access to individual units of work. The user input may include requests to generate meetings regarding the individual units of work with one or more of the users of the collaboration environment. A meeting regarding a unit of work may include a meeting about one or more of the unit of work, users linked to the unit of work, other units of work linked to the unit of work, project(s) supported by the unit of work, and/or other topics. By way of non-limiting illustration, the input information may convey a first user input by the first user into a first work unit page of the first unit of work. The first user input may include a first request to generate a first meeting regarding the first unit of work with a second user and/or other users.

In some implementations, in response to the requests to generate the meetings regarding the individual units of work, the environment state component may be configured to generate and store resource information in individual work unit records of the individual units of work (and/or other records) in response to the requests to generate the meetings regarding the individual units of work. The resource information may include meeting resource identifiers that facilitate access to a meeting interface. By non-limiting illustration, storing the resource information in the individual work unit records of the individual units of work may cause individual meeting resource identifiers to be presented in the individual work unit pages. In some implementations, in response to the first request, first resource information may be stored in the first work unit record. The first resource information may include a first meeting resource identifier facilitating access to a meeting interface for the first meeting, and/or other information.

The meeting interface component may be configured to effectuate presentation of the meeting interface through which the users conduct the meetings. The meeting interface may include an agenda display portion displaying agenda information for the individual meetings.

The content component may be configured to obtain meeting information conveying content of the meetings. In some implementations, first meeting information conveying first content of the first meeting may be obtained.

In some implementations, the environment state component may be configured to effectuate one or more actions within the collaboration environment based on the content of the meetings. The environment state component may be configured to store results of the one or more actions in the environment state information. By non-limiting illustration, a first set of one or more actions may be effectuated in the collaboration environment based on the first content. Results of the first set of one or more actions may be stored in the environment state information.

As used herein, any association (or relation, or reflection, or indication, or correspondency) involving servers, processors, client computing platforms, and/or another entity or object that interacts with any part of the system and/or plays a part in the operation of the system, may be a one-to-one association, a one-to-many association, a many-to-one association, and/or a many-to-many association or N-to-M association (note that N and M may be different numbers greater than 1).

These and other features, and characteristics of the present technology, as well as the methods of operation and functions of the related elements of structure and the combination of parts and economies of manufacture, will become more apparent upon consideration of the following description and the appended claims with reference to the accompanying drawings, all of which form a part of this specification, wherein like reference numerals designate corresponding parts in the various figures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 illustrates a system 100 configured to link meetings with units of work of a collaboration environment, in accordance with one or more implementations. It is noted that such linking may also be carried out with projects and/or other records described herein and is not to be considered limited to units of work only.

Coordinating meetings between users may take some manual preparation prior to a meeting date, such as scheduling the meeting date and/or gathering information pertinent to the meeting to create an agenda. Even after completion of the meeting, there may be more manual effort required from users of the meeting to summarize the information covered in the meeting and/or take actions according to agenda items discussed in the meeting. One or more implementations of the system 100 may be configured to facilitate generating meetings in response to a user's request input in a collaboration environment. Generating a meeting may further generate an agenda for the meeting as well as a meeting interface that incorporates the agenda information. The agenda may be interactive where there is an agenda display portion included in the meeting interface. In some implementations, interacting with the agenda display portion within the meeting interface may modify work information for units of work within the collaboration environment.

In some implementations, system 100 may include one or more of one or more servers 102, one or more client computing platforms 104, external resource(s) 126, one or more meeting resources 125, and/or other components. Server(s) 102 may be configured to communicate with one or more client computing platforms 104, one or more meeting resources 125, and/or other entities of system 100 according to a client/server architecture and/or other architectures. Client computing platform(s) 104 may be configured to communicate with other client computing platforms via server(s) 102 and/or according to a peer-to-peer architecture and/or other architectures. Users may access system 100 via client computing platform(s) 104.

One or more meeting resources 125 may including application programs and/or services configured to facilitate meetings between users. The meetings may include one or more of video meetings, audio meetings, text-based meetings, and/or other meetings. A meeting resource may be configured to implement an instance of a meeting through one or more meeting interfaces. A meeting resource may be configured to receive and/or transmit the communications (e.g., textual communications, voice communications, video communications, etc.) that make up a meeting to and/or from client computing platform(s) 104 and server(s) 102. A meeting interface may be part of and/or external to the collaboration environment. A meeting interface may be hosted by the collaboration environment and/or one or more third party applications integrated with the collaboration environment via an application program interface (API). A meeting interface may include its own interface and/or a portion a user interface of the collaboration environment.

Server(s) 102 may include one or more of non-transitory electronic storage 128, one or more processors 130 configured by machine-readable instructions 106, and/or other components. The non-transitory electronic storage 128 may store one or more records and/or other information. Machine-readable instructions 106 may include one or more instruction components. The instruction components may include computer program components. Executing the machine-readable instructions 106 may cause server(s) 102 to facilitate linking meetings with units of work of a collaboration environment. The computer program components may include one or more of an environment state component 108, user input component 110, meeting interface component 112, content component 114, and/or other components.

Environment state component 108 may be configured to manage environment state information and/or other information used in maintaining a collaboration environment. The collaboration environment may be configured to facilitate interaction by users with the collaboration environment. The environment state information may include one or more of user records, work unit records, project records, objective records, and/or other records. The user records may include user information comprising values of user parameters. The work unit records which may include work information comprising values for work unit parameters associated with units of work managed, created, and/or assigned within the collaboration environment. By way of non-limiting illustration, the work unit records may include a first work unit record including first work information for a first unit of work. The project records may include project information including values for project parameters associated with projects managed within the collaboration environment. An individual project may include an individual set of the units of work.

The user information in the user records may include values of user parameters. The values of the user parameters may be organized in the user records corresponding to users interacting with and/or viewing the collaboration environment. The values of the user parameters may include information describing the users, their actions within the collaboration environment, their settings, and/or other user information; and/or metadata associated with the users, their actions within the environment, their settings, and/or other user information. Individual ones of the users may be associated with individual ones of the user records. A user record may define values of the user parameters associated with a given user.

The values of the user parameters may, by way of non-limiting example, specify one or more of: a user name, a group parameter, a user account, user role information, a user department, descriptive user content, a to-email, a from-email, a photo, an organization, a workspace, one or more user comments, one or more teams the user belongs to, one or more of the user display settings (e.g., colors, size, project order, task order, other unit of work order, etc.), one or more authorized applications, one or more interaction parameters (e.g., indicating a user is working on/worked on a given unit of work, a given user viewed a given work unit of work, a given user selected a given unit of work, a timeframe a given user last interacted with and/or worked on a given unit of work, a time period that a given unit of work has been idle, and/or other interaction parameters), one or more notification settings, one or more progress parameters, status information for one or more work units the user is associated with (units of work assigned to the user, assigned to other users by the user, completed by the user, past-due date, and/or other information), one or more performance/productivity metrics of a given user (e.g., how many units of work the user has completed, how quickly the user completed the units of work, how quickly the user completes certain types of work units, the efficiency of the user, bandwidth of the user, activity level of the user, how many business objectives the user has helped fulfill through their completion of units of work, etc.), application access information (e.g., username/password for one or more third-party applications), one or more favorites and/or priorities, schedule information, and/or other information.

User role information may specify individual roles of the individual users. A role may represent a position of an individual user. The position may be specified based on a description of one or more of a job title, level, stage, and/or other descriptions of position. The role may be specified with respect to a business organization as a whole and/or other specifications. By way of non-limiting illustration, a role may include one or more of chief executive officer (or other officer), owner, manager, supervisor, accountant, associate, employee, intern, entry level, midlevel, senior, administrator, director, foreman, engineer, product developer, human resource officer, artist, art director, and/or other descriptions.

In some implementations, user role information may specify roles of the users within the units of work and/or the projects. The roles may convey expected contribution of the users in completing and/or supporting the units of work and/or the projects. The individual roles of individual users within the units of work may be specified separately from the individual roles of the individual users within the projects. The individual roles of individual users within the units of work and/or projects may be specified separately from the individual roles of the individual users within a business organization as a whole.

The work information in the work unit records may include values of one or more work unit parameters. The values of the work unit parameters may be organized in work unit records corresponding to units of work managed, created, and/or assigned within the collaboration environment. A given unit of work may have one or more assignees and/or collaborators working on the given work unit. Units of work may include one or more to-do items, action items, objectives, and/or other units of work one or more users should accomplish and/or plan on accomplishing. Units of work may be created by a given user for the given user and/or created by the given user and assigned to one or more other users. Individual units of work may include one or more of an individual task, an individual sub-task, and/or other units of work assigned to and/or associated with one or more users. Individual units of work may include one or more digital content items. An individual unit of work may include an individual digital content item by virtue of the individual digital content item (and/or a copy or instance thereof) being attached and/or appended thereto. A digital content item may include one or more of an image, a video, an audio file, a PDF, a word document, and/or other digital content items.

In some implementations, units of work created by, assigned to, and/or completed by the users may refer generally to a linking of the units of work with the individual users in the collaboration environment. A unit of work may be linked with a user in a manner that defines one or more relationships between the user and the unit of work. Such a relationship may connote and/or be a result of an action (past, present, and/or future) of the user with respect to the unit of work. Such actions may include one or more of creating a work unit record for a unit of work, being assigned to participate in a unit of work, participating in a unit of work, being granted access to a work unit record of a unit of work, adjusting a value of a work unit parameter of a work unit record of a unit of work, being assigned a role at the unit of work level, and/or other actions.

Individual sets of work unit records may be defined by a record hierarchy. A record hierarchy may convey individual positions of work unit records (and their corresponding units of work) in the record hierarchy. By way of non-limiting illustration, a position may specify one or more of a work unit record being superior to another work unit record, a work unit record being subordinate to another work unit record, and/or other information. As a result, individual work unit records in the individual sets of work unit records may be subordinate to other individual work unit records in the individual sets of work unit records. For example, a work unit record may define a unit of work comprising a task, and a subordinate work unit record may define a unit of work comprising a sub-task to the task. A record hierarchy may define a relationship between work unit records. A work unit record may have some restrictions placed on it by virtue of having a subordinate work unit record. By way of non-limiting illustration, a work unit record may be restricted from access by one or more users unless and/or until a subordinate work unit record is completed and/or started.

Individual work unit records may include hierarchical information defining a record hierarchy of the individual work unit records. The hierarchical information of a work unit record may include one or more of information identifying other work unit records associated in a record hierarchy the work unit record belongs to, a specification of the position of the work unit record in the hierarchy, restrictions and/or other relationships placed on the work unit record by virtue of its position, and/or other information.

In some implementations, the one or more work unit parameters may include one or more of a work assignment parameter, work completion parameter, a work management parameter, work creation parameter, and/or other parameters. The values of the work assignment parameter may describe units of work assigned to the individual users. The values of the work management parameter may describe units of work managed by the individual users. The values of the work creation parameter may describe units of work created by the individual users.

In some implementations, values of work unit parameters may include one or more of a unit of work name, a unit of work description, one or more unit of work dates (e.g., a start date, a due date or end date, a completion date, and/or dates), one or more members associated with a unit of work (e.g., an owner, one or more other project/task collaborators, collaborator access information, and/or other unit of work collaborators and/or collaborator information), completion state, one or more user comment parameters (e.g., permission for who may make comments such as an assignee, an assignor, a recipient, one or more followers, and/or one or more other interested parties; content of the comments; one or more times; presence or absence of the functionality of up-votes; one or more hard-coded responses; and/or other parameters), one or more interaction parameters (e.g., indicating a given unit of work is being worked on/was worked on, a given work unit of work was viewed, a given unit of work was selected, how long the given unit of work has been idle, a last interaction parameter indicating when and what user last interacted with the given unit of work, users that interacted with the given unit of work, quantity and/or content of comments on the unit of work, and/or other interaction parameters indicating sources of the interactions, context of the interactions, content of the interactions and/or time for the interactions), one or more digital content item attachments, notification settings, privacy, an associated URL, one or more interaction parameters (e.g., sources of the interactions, context of the interactions, content of the interactions, time for the interactions, and/or other interaction parameters), updates, state of a workspace for a given unit of work (e.g., application state parameters, application status, application interactions, user information, and/or other parameters related to the state of the workspace for a unit of work), one or more performance/productivity metrics for a given unit of work, hierarchical information, one or more custom fields (e.g., priority, cost, stage, and/or other custom fields), and/or other information.

The values of the work assignment parameter describing units of work assigned to the individual users may be determined based on one or more interactions by one or more users with a collaboration environment. In some implementations, one or more users may create and/or assign one or more unit of work to themselves and/or another user. In some implementations, a user may be assigned a unit of work and the user may effectuate a reassignment of the unit of work from the user or one or more other users.

In some implementations, values of the work completion parameter may indicate that a completion status of a unit of work has changed from “incomplete” to “marked complete” and/or “complete”. In some implementations, a status of complete for a unit of work may be associated with the passing of an end date associated with the unit of work. In some implementations, a status of “marked complete” may be associated with a user providing input via the collaboration environment at the point in time the user completes the unit of work (which may be before or after an end date).

In some implementations, managing the environment state component 108 may include maintaining queues of the units of work assigned to the users. The queues may be presented to the users in a user interface of the collaboration environment to facilitate access to the units of work via work unit pages. Individual queues may represent the units of work assigned to individual users organized in an order based on the individual end dates and/or other dates (e.g., start dates) and/or other ordering. Individual queues may be presented in a user interface based on one or more of a list view, a calendar view, and/or other views. The calendar view may be a calendar view by week, by more than one week (e.g., 1^(st) through 15^(th)), by month, by more than one month (e.g., May through July), and/or other calendar views. Units of work may be represented in a calendar view by user interface elements (e.g., icons, calendar entries, etc.).

Project information in project records may define values of project parameters for projects managed within the collaboration environment. The project parameters may characterize one or more projects managed within the collaboration environment and/or via the collaboration environment, and/or the metadata associated with the one or more projects. Individual ones of the projects may be associated with individual ones of the project records. The project information may define values of the project parameters associated with a given project managed within the collaboration environment and/or via the collaboration environment. A given project may have one or more owners and/or one or more collaborators working on the given project. The given project may include one or more units of work assigned to one or more users under the given project heading. In some implementations, projects may include one or more units of work that may directly facilitate progress toward fulfillment of the projects. Accordingly, completion of units of work may directly contribute to progress toward fulfillment of the project. By way of non-limiting illustration, an individual project may be associated with a client and the units of work under the individual project heading may be work directly contributing to the fulfillment of a business relationship with the client.

In some implementations, activities that impact the progress toward completion of the individual projects may be reflected by changes in the values of one or more of the work unit parameters and/or the values of one or more of the project parameters.

The values of the project parameters may, by way of non-limiting example, include one or more of: one or more units of work within individual ones of the projects (which may include values of work unit parameters defined by one or more work unit records), status information, one or more user comment parameters (e.g., a creator, a recipient, one or more followers, one or more other interested parties, content, one or more times, upvotes, other hard-coded responses, etc.), a project name, a project description, one or more project dates (e.g., a start date, a due date, a completion date, and/or other project dates), one or more project collaborators (e.g., an owner, one or more other project collaborators, collaborator access information, and/or other project collaborators and/or collaborator information), one or more attachments, notification settings, privacy, an associated URL, one or more interaction parameters (e.g., sources of the interactions, context of the interactions, content of the interactions, time for the interactions, and/or other interaction parameters), updates, ordering of units of work within the given project, state of a workspace for a given task within the given project, and/or other information.

In some implementations, projects created by, assigned to, and/or completed by the users may refer generally to a linking of the projects with the individual users in the collaboration environment. A project may be linked with a user in a manner that defines one or more relationships between the user and the project. Such a relationship may connote and/or be a result of an action (past, present, and/or future) of the user with respect to the project. Such actions may include one or more of creating a project record for a project, being assigned to participate in a project, participating in a project, being granted access to a project record of a project, adjusting a value of a project parameter of a project record of a project, being assigned a project-level role, and/or other actions.

The objective information in objective records may include values of one or more objective parameters. The values of the objective parameters may be organized in objective records corresponding to business objectives managed, created, and/or owned within the collaboration environment. A given business objective may have one or more collaborators, and/or team members working on the given business objective. Business objectives may include one or more associated units of work and/or projects one or more users should accomplish and/or plan on accomplishing. Business objectives may be created by a given user for the given user and/or created by the given user and assigned to be owned to one or more other users. Individual business objectives may include one or more of an individual goal, an individual sub-goal, and/or other business objectives assigned to be owned by a user and/or associated with one or more users.

The business objectives may be associated with a set of units of work and/or projects that may indirectly facilitate progress toward fulfillment of the business objectives. The set of units of work and/or projects may not directly contribute to the progress. By way of non-limiting illustration, a connection between the set of units of work and/or projects and a corresponding business objective may be indirect in that completion of at least one of the units of work and/or projects may have no direct impact on progress toward fulfillment of the business objective. The concept of “no direct impact” may mean that completion of the at least one unit of work and/or project may not cause progress toward fulfillment of the business objective without independent action outside of the at least one unit of work and/or project. Instead, the fulfillment of the at least one unit of work and/or project may make such independent action more likely (e.g., through coercion, assistance, education, incentivization, reminder, etc.). However, in some implementations, business objectives may be associated with a set of units of work and/or projects that may directly facilitate progress toward fulfillment of the business objectives. Accordingly, completion of the set of units of work and/or projects may directly contribute to the progress toward fulfillment. Business objectives may be associated with an objectives and key result (OKR) goal-setting framework. Business objectives may be specified on one or more of a team basis, organization basis, and/or other specifications. In some implementations, business objectives may be characterized as user objectives. The user objectives may be associated with a set of units of work and/or projects that may indirectly (and/or directly) facilitate progress toward fulfillment of the user objectives. User objectives may be specified on an individual user basis.

Individual objective records may describe individual business objectives and identify sets of individual ones of the work unit records and/or project records that specify the units of work and/or projects as being associated with the individual business objectives.

Individual sets of objective records may be defined by an objective record hierarchy. An objective record hierarchy may convey individual positions of objective records (and their corresponding business objectives) in the objective record hierarchy. By way of non-limiting illustration, a position may specify one or more of an objective record being superior to one or more other objective records, an objective record being subordinate to one or more other objective records, and/or other information. As a result, individual objective records may be subordinate and/or superior to other individual objective records. For example, the objective records may further include a second objective record. The first objective record and the second objective record may be organized by a first objective record hierarchy specifying that the second objective record is subordinate to the first objective record.

An objective record may define a business objective comprising a progress towards fulfillment, and a subordinate objective record may define a business objective comprising a subordinate progress towards fulfillment to the subordinate business objective. An objective record hierarchy may define a relationship between objective records.

Individual objective records may include hierarchical information defining an objective record hierarchy of the individual objective records. The hierarchical information of an objective record may include one or more of information identifying other objective records associated in an objective record hierarchy the objective record belongs to, a specification of the position of the objective record in the hierarchy, other relationships placed on the objective record by virtue of its position, and/or other information.

In some implementations, as a consequence of the objective record hierarchies, the individual business objectives described in the individual objective records that are subordinate to the other individual objective records may be subordinate to the individual business objectives in the other individual objective records.

In some implementations, the one or more objective parameters may include one or more of an objective definition parameter, an objective owner parameter, an objective management parameter, an objective creation parameter, an objective progress parameter, and/or other parameters. The value of the objective definition parameter may describe the particular business objective. The values of the objective owner parameter may describe business objectives assigned to be owned by an individual user. The values of the objective management parameter may describe business objectives managed as collaborators by the individual users. The values of the objective creation parameter may describe business objectives created by the individual users.

In some implementations, the business objectives may be described based on one or more of a business objective name, a business objective description, one or more business objective dates (e.g., a start date, a due date, and/or dates), one or more members associated with a business objective (e.g., an owner, one or more other project/task members, member access information, and/or other business objective members and/or member information), progress information (e.g., an update, a hardcoded status update, a measured status, a progress indicator, quantity value remaining for a given business objective, completed work units in a given project, and/or other progress information), one or more interaction parameters, notification settings, privacy, an associated URL, one or more custom fields (e.g., priority, cost, stage, and/or other custom fields), and/or other information.

The values of the objective owner parameter describing business objectives owned by the individual users may be determined based on one or more interactions by one or more users with a collaboration environment. In some implementations, one or more users may create and/or assign ownership of one or more business objectives to themselves and/or another user. In some implementations, a user may be assigned to own a business objective and the user may effectuate a reassignment of ownership of the business objective from the user or one or more other users.

In some implementations, environment state component 108 may be configured to manage information defining work unit pages corresponding to the individual units of work. Individual work unit pages may provide access to individual units of work. Managing information defining work unit pages may include determining, obtaining, and/or modifying information used to generate work unit pages. Managing information defining individual work unit pages may include providing information to the environment state component 108 to effectuate presentation of the work unit pages, and/or other information. In some implementations, individual work unit pages may include individual sets of interface elements displaying the values of one or more of the work unit parameters of the individual units of work.

In some implementations, environment state component 108 may be configured to manage information defining project pages corresponding to the individual projects. Individual project pages may provide access to individual project. Managing information defining project pages may include determining, obtaining, and/or modifying information used to generate project pages. Managing information defining individual project pages may include providing information to the environment state component 108 to effectuate presentation of the project pages, and/or other information. In some implementations, individual project pages may include individual sets of interface elements displaying the values of one or more of the project parameters of the individual projects.

The user input component 110 may be configured to obtain input information conveying user input into work unit pages of the units of work and/or project pages of the individual projects. The user input may include requests to generate meetings regarding the individual units of work and/or individual projects with one or more of the users of the collaboration environment. In some implementations, the one or more users may be users linked to the individual units of work and/or projects. By way of non-limiting illustration, input information may convey a first user input by the first user into a first work unit page of the first unit of work. The first user input may include a first request to generate a first meeting regarding the first unit of work with a second user and/or other users.
